Possible Smash Bros. Release Date Revealed?

In a recent interview with German publication Neckar-Chronik, Bernd Fakesch, the general manager of Nintendo of Germany, alluded to a spring release date for the Wii U’s upcoming Super Smash Bros. sequel.

Fakesch began the interview by detailing the company’s slate of games releasing this holiday season, such as Wii Fit U and Super Mario 3D World. He then briefly touched on a few upcoming titles for next year, stating that, “For next spring two more big license games are announced for our TV console with Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros.” The comment, while not an official confirmation, at least gives us a window to look toward for this heavily anticipated release.

Is this rumored release date sooner or later than you’d suspected? Will the 3DS Smash follow close on its big brother’s heels? Tell us your thoughts in a comment below.
